Jeff,
Having just gone thru this on the rootsweb listserve, I have found that there are 2 answers to the problem:
1. Make up marriage dates for the spouse(s); if the children do not appear, make up birth dates for them, too.
2. Apparently this is a problem that is supposed to be fixed in v.6.10.
P.S. You're not the only nit-picker!
